An interesting theology! The idea is that the truths of the Bible repeat in cycles throughout history, culminating in the second coming of Jesus for a final fulfillment.
Utiger begins with the assumption that the Bible is of divine authorship, and then proceeds to make sense of it in light of history and scientific findings. In discussing the creation, for example, he notes that Genesis records the creation of birds before animals, though they actually appeared later in evolutionary history. So t ...more

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.
As the book begins, Utiger presents the readers with possible explanations for how the creation account of Genesis fits in with the Big Bang theory. He does so by examining the different meanings/interpretations of the Hebrew text and the order in which they are presented. He then shows how the Genesis account fits in with our current understanding of science and the Big Bang.

Ulrich Utiger the author believes that all history of salvation as transmitted by the Bible reveals its through cyclical recurrences.
It's almost as if a single author is responsible for penning all of its books. These cycles generally have four phases: initial peace,
sin, judgment, and a return to peace. The history of the Jewish people exemplifies this. Awareness of these patterns helps us understand the past, present and future of salvation. It may seem that science and faith cannot agree but

Ulrich Utiger is a scientist and brings a fresh and refreshing viewpoint to the debate on understanding the world through the book of Genesis vs. the use of science as we understand it today. His background as a scientist is obvious and he makes convincing arguments and explanations of how Genesis by be understood and interpreted through the lens of science.

This book has three parts and I felt differently about each part.
I really enjoyed part one, The Creation of the Universe. It wasn't overly complicated and was fairly easy to read. I felt the author put forth his belief very effectively and supported it throughout.
For part two, Salvation History, I think that my biblical knowledge was not great enough for me to really understand and follow where the author was trying to lead me. I think that a second reading of this part may be in order. It will ...more

Overall Feedback: Although this is in the non fiction genre and also about religion, I would not label it a dry read. I was impressed by the comparisons made and the author's division of the scripture. This may not be the view of the majority but it will and shall open the door of discussion. A good pick for those studying the bible.
Voice: The author obviously put a lot of thought and research into this and it shows along with his enthusiasm for the subject matter.

This is my own book, which offers solutions to old biblical inconsistencies.

After high school, I preferred to get a job rather than to go to university. I first became a freelance builder and was engaged several times, among others, for conducting renovations in a Franciscan Convent. After some years, I found back to my high school enthusiasm for natural sciences and studied theoretical physics. I graduated with a Master’s degree in 2007 and afterward also got a diploma i
